f41f5b7c05 dumpimage: add 'T' option to explicitly set the image type
Some image types, like "KeyStone GP", do not have magic numbers to
distinguish them from other image types. Thus, the automatic image
type discovery does not work correctly.

This patch also fix some integer type mismatches.

0ca6691c2e imagetool: move common code to imagetool module
The get_type() and verify_print_header() functions have the
same code on both dumpimage.c and mkimage.c modules.

a804b5ce2d Add dumpimage, a tool to extract data from U-Boot images
Given a multi-file image created through the mkimage's -d option:

  $ mkimage -A x86 -O linux -T multi -n x86 -d vmlinuz:initrd.img:System.map \
  multi.img

  Image Name:   x86
  Created:      Thu Jul 25 10:29:13 2013
  Image Type:   Intel x86 Linux Multi-File Image (gzip compressed)
  Data Size:    13722956 Bytes = 13401.32 kB = 13.09 MB
  Load Address: 00000000
  Entry Point:  00000000
  Contents:
     Image 0: 4040128 Bytes = 3945.44 kB = 3.85 MB
     Image 1: 7991719 Bytes = 7804.41 kB = 7.62 MB
     Image 2: 1691092 Bytes = 1651.46 kB = 1.61 MB

It is possible to perform the innverse operation -- extracting any file from
the image -- by using the dumpimage's -i option:

  $ dumpimage -i multi.img -p 2 System.map

Although it's feasible to retrieve "data files" from image through scripting,
the requirement to embed tools such 'dd', 'awk' and 'sed' for this sole purpose
is cumbersome and unreliable -- once you must keep track of file sizes inside
the image. Furthermore, extracting data files using "dumpimage" tool is faster
than through scripting.
